Out on ‘Bright Carvings’

10 copies of this 1972 record were originally pressed

This 2nd release transport NTP into underground territory

Druggy, distortion, intense rock outs & scathing lyrics

Read an old OZ, burn joss sticks…& listen to this avalanche of glorious weird…

Out on ‘Mocambo’

‘Imagine Dr. Dre doing peyote in the desert while staring into the cosmos…’

Perfectly described

Masked unknown musicians from LA (possibly?), instrumental, cinematic, psychedelic, hip-hop, cosmic funk/jazz/afro…

You’d mistake this for 70’s funk…

Superb!

Out on ‘Funk Night’

A curio…the record label specialises in these intriguing records

European library music, electronic, beats, fuzz bursts with bubbling synths, flutes, capturing the analog funk grit of a bygone age…

I’ve no idea how Misha’s mind works but this is magic…

Next few days turntable choices…

‘The World of Krautrock’, from 1997, on ‘ZXY-Music’…

To accompany my reading this afternoon…

Book available from Faber Books

A knowing sense of restraint, using the techniques & processes of fine art & virtuosity but avoiding bombast or hideous ego-trips…& I love it….

Cymbeline - 1965-1971

On ‘Guerssen’

Formed in Norrköping, Sweden, in mid 60’s

DIY fuzzy psych, avant-garde, experimental folk & rock

Released one 45’ before disbanding, but they recorded a ton of excellent stuff, only released now…

One of the great ‘lost’ exciting bands…

From my pal Mick Tonello …

“Written by a friend who is now a therapist. It’s highly unique…

….how to improve your mental health & wellbeing in a really eye-opening way.

It releases on Amazon websites today.”

Please have a look…

My next article is about this very man, and the day he met a tenacious Kennoway postie backstage at his last gig…

Extraordinary intense psych/space rock

Released in ‘76…their greatest record

A cosmic high point in Japanese music

Produced by Klaus Schulz, the ‘Krautrock’ influence looms large

Music from an incandescent meteor blasted into hyperspace before fading into the universe…

📸 of the day…

A cracking pic by Ian of my hometown.

As a follow up to my previous post regarding Traffic Sound’s greatest record, ‘Virgin’

‘Meshkalina’, refers to Incan culture & a massive Peruvian hit in ‘69

Psych/hard rock/Latin

It became an anthem & an explosive Latin dancefloor hit…

A belter!
